I have been using both apps since last week and have learned lots from them. What makes this such a successful tool is that it is constantly in my pocket, when I have some time to spare, I can pull out my phone and do a quick review. I find myself practicing between classes and always getting some studying in before I go to sleep.
One of the things I have learned from this app is the children’s nursery rhyme, “row row row your boat.” This would be a unique lesson to teach in a classroom as it would give the students a hidden talent, that could one day help them connect with someone through signs. It may even be what sparks a learning journey of sign language for one of the students. After all my grade one teacher taught us the alphabet in sign language, and here I am learning it now.
The other thing I have been continuing to work on this week is the basics chapters in the book, “Signing: How to Speak with Your Hands,” by Elaine Costello.
